So many amazing camps and spots in BC are owned by weird US based religious groups. This doesn’t seem ideal.

Didn’t they fix this with their new TOD policy which allows hotels?

Honestly bullish for dev shops if they can adopt these tools. I don't see the random administrator at some government agency vibecoding their whole project. You still need to know how to code to some extent.

My favourite one is that unlike what Brad Pitt says in The Big Short mortality actually fell during the great regression.

Easily the best way to get a piece of misinformation embedded in the general public is to have the smug "smart" character in a TV or movie say something.

Followed by 3 back to back episodes of Americans being interviewed about things happening in America I’m sure. Talk about failing to step up to the moment.

Canada just signed an important new trade deal so of course @jaymepoisson.bsky.social is interviewing an American about America. The producers of this show really wish they were American.

One thing I find funny about the new "class warrior" Canadian conservative arc is that they can't help themselves but shit on all unionization efforts.

Deepseek R1 runs very well on my M2 Mac with Ollama. It can output stuff about as fast as online model providers which is very impressive.

The amount of money these wealth managers run by Monetarists must lose relative to the market must be astounding.

Gross domestic product per capita and other per capita macroeconomic indicators This table contains estimates of gross domestic product per capita and other per capita macroeconomic indicators.

Oh this is new, Statcan now directly publishes GDP per Capita (though they only use quarter start population which is kind of wrong).

The relatively wide arterial roads in Paris offer a lot of good lessons for what to do with similar arterials in north America for urbanists. Barcelona as well.
